Flippers are the product of another brave pumpkin who gave his skinmeat so that this one might be able to swim the oceans and cause a commotion, as the song goes. Tusk is indian corn. He is currently hiding in my garage until the big night to keep the greedygreedy squirrels off him O: The grin is made of pure glee.

Tips: I wedged some toothpicks along side to help keep the corn tusk stable and to keep the fins from flopping around. Also, depending on how you do yours, rubbing petroleum jelly on any of the cut parts (like the skinned teeth and tongue and the insides of the eye sockets and all that) locks in the moisture better so it won't go all weird and withered/caved in quite so fast the way pumpkins do.
